Venting
#6 Installing into an existing fireplace chimney
This method provides excellent venting for normal operation. This method also provides natural draft in the event of a power failure.
In some places in the US and Canada it is re- quired that the vent pipe extend all the way to the top of the chimney. The pipe or liner inside the chimney should be 4" diameter.
In this method a cap should also be installed on the chimney to keep out rain. Be sure to use ap- proved pellet vent pipe fittings. Seal pipe joints with silicone or aluminum tape in addition to the sealing system used by the manufacturer. Pipe size should be increased to 4" using this method.
